Show HN: An open source alternative to Google Analytics back end

github.com

It’s just the back end so it logs to MongoDB database so you can add any UI you want to it, feel free to contribute!

(Suggestion’?)

Interesting. From your headline here I was hoping that you used the standard Google snippet with an override of the tracking host. I think it would be more powerful to save whatever the same GA setup would save.

Opening a new WebSocket for each client sounds like a lot of stress on the server, do you need the persistent connection? What if the client visits a new page? A new connection is created?

Oh right, had to add the WebSocket mainly for two reason:

1. To get the total online active users.

2. Is to log the total active time on the webpage when user leave’s.

Any other way that you suggest?
